Tiny, fast, looks excellent, impresses the heck out of my pals Drive has data corruption troubles. Running a handful of tests, I identified that often data is corrupted promptly immediately after writing, other times it is corrupted immediately after carrying out a safe-take away. Mainly just bigger files are impacted: most files under 1MB seem safe. The broken sections either study back all 0s or all 1s. Corruption also seems to take place on the filesystem level, producing a few folders undeletable except for a full format. A friend had a drive identical to one particular I had that randomly deleted files, and yet another pal had a drive related to one more I had that all of a sudden dropped from 256MB to 7MB capacity (quite a when ago) that even filling the entire device with zeroes from a linux reside cd couldn't fix. I've previously had fantastic experiences with PNY, so it is probably just poor luck, hence a reluctant second egg. Unfortunately, I didn't get this drive from Newegg, and I have lost my receipt.

Tiny, compact Extreme data corruption issues. I essentially bought this last minute from a regional Staples for one of our sales staff. I had intended to give them some item demos on this drive so they could use it at a conference. I skilled quick corruption difficulties on XP and Vista. The vista machines detected errors promptly, XP machines simply couldn't read a lot of of the files.If this had been trustworthy, it would be a perfect crucial-chain drive.

Durable metal shell Total item failure in less than 1 year. Drive would not perform an any computer system and all information on drive was lost. PNY sent me an RMA to return the item, but the shipping cost would have been practically as significantly as a new item. I purchased a new USB drive, but not a PNY. New drive was from a competitive brand that gives a longer warranty and for which I have a far better track record for product excellent.

It's modest, but has a cord to attach it to a keyring or some thing else. It's pretty fast and straightforward to use. Read speeds ranged from 15mb/s to 35mb/s. Write speed ranged from 5mb/s to 10mb/s It's tiny sufficient that it could easily be lost. I've bought two of these now, the first from a nearby retailer and the second this green one. I didn't have any of the reported issues with the very first one so I decided to try to trust one from here. They appear to be various hardware revisions. I did many challenging tests involving utilizing checksums, many formats, removals and reattachments, and so on, and no errors. I suspect all the troubles individuals had could have been associated to a poor batch.As often, YMMV. Mine works fine.
